### 76

You dismount and tether your horse to a post before you knock on the door of this isolated farm house. It is unlocked and the door opens a few inches when you rap on its pine timbers. You call out and get no reply. Inside you discover the main room has been stripped of belongings; only its wooden furniture remains. You conclude that the owner has recently abandoned the cabin and most likely has joined the refugee column heading south along the highway.

You make a search of the empty rooms and kitchen and find two items that could be useful:

- Rope (50 ft)
- Lantern (filled with oil)

If you wish to keep either or both of these Backpack Items, be sure to adjust your Action Chart accordingly.

To leave the abandoned farmstead, turn to 337.
